For Louis Vuitton‘s latest pre-fall 2016 “travel” campaign, the photoshoot was shot at Cuadra San Cristo Cristóbal, a luxurious modern ranch in Mexico, which was conceived by Mexican architect and engineer Luis Barragán. As far as the star in this campaign, the design team at Louis Vuitton cast stunning French actress Léa Seydoux to work with for the first time, but hopefully not the last. She was able to easily break into character here, as she was asked to play as a “daring, confident heroine who is constantly on the move,” but there is still that lovely edge of sweetness that pushes through to part away the potential harshness.

Most recently known for her leading Bond Girl role in “Spectre,” the latest James Bond film, the role she was asked to fulfill was most fitting for her talents. It also doesn’t stray from her roles in past films, such as “Inglourious Basterds” and “Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol.” She has appeared in many other critically acclaimed films that show off other sides of her acting, like her role in “The Grand Budapest Hotel,” “Blue is the Warmest Colour,” and even “Midnight in Paris.” But by far one of Lea Seydoux’s most noteworthy roles is her position as brand ambassador for Louis Vuitton, among the likes of Alicia Vikander, Doona Bae, Jennifer Connelly, and Michelle Williams, who have all served as the same. She first appeared for the brand at the Los Angeles UNICEF Ball last January, and frankly we feel it’s about time they were able to feature her in a campaign shoot!

Due to the outdoor setting, the wind adds a whole volume of life to the photoshoot, which serves both to the sweetness of Seydoux’s short blonde hair and the daring, almost commanding nature of her presence. To further the outdoorsy ranch image, there is even a horse that periodically appears in a shot, amid the bright pink walls of the ranch.

All put together by associates of the label, Patrick Demarchelier photographed the Lea Seydoux’s first Louis Vuitton campaign, Paul Hanlon styled the perfectly suited hair, Hannah Murray gave the impeccable natural makeup looks, and the ads themselves were styled by Marie-Amélie Sauvé.

Since this is a travel campaign, the ad features a plethora of handbags perfect for that woman on the go, but the focus is still slated on the fabulous clothes offered for the season. The photos showcase the dark and light sides of the collection, from a fun zippered mini skirt to slightly bohemian prints, and then from there to edgy black pieces that require a more commanding presence. But, being the multitalented woman she is, Seydoux was able to pull it off in one, slightly eccentrically set, photoshoot.

The campaign is set to be delivered this Friday in Vanity Fair U.K., before being released internationally in June and July issues of various magazines.

Whether or not you like the brand's ubiquitous logo bags, one thing is inarguable: Louis Vuitton is the biggest handbag brand in the world. Not only does it sit atop luxury industry indexes, but it has a handbag history as long and storied as any in fashion. In fact, that history is one of the things that keeps customers coming back, even with all the options currently available from other brands.

You could spend all day reading about Vuitton's lineage and changes through the years, but if you want to brush up on fun facts or fill some knowledge gaps, we've picked some choice tidbits about the brand's journey over the years. Check 'em out below.

1. LOUIS VUITTON'S CAREER STARTED WITH A JOURNEY OF NEARLY 300 MILES, ON FOOT.

These days, if you want to design handbags, all you have to do is go to fashion school and then hustle wisely in the industry for a few years. Back in 1834, Louis Vuitton had to hoof it from his hometown of Anchay to Paris on foot in order to get his start. He started his journey at the tender age of 13, and it took him two years to arrive in Paris because he had to stop and work along the way in order to survive.

2. LOUIS VUITTON, THE MAN, GOT HIS BIG BREAK AS THE OFFICIAL BOX-MAKER AND PACKER OF NAPOLEON BONAPARTE'S WIFE, EMPRESS EUGENIE DE MONTIJO OF FRANCE.

Box-making and packing were respected professions in mid-19th century Europe, and Vuitton's appointment in 1853 elevated his profile among Europe's elite. While under the empress's employ, he was charged with carefully and beautifully packaging her wardrobe for transportation among the country's various royal residences.

3. THE ALMA BAG WAS CREATED AS A SPECIAL ORDER FOR COCO CHANEL.

She wasn't the only French icon to influence the creation of a Louis Vuitton bag, but she was the first. Chanel special-ordered a day-sized version of the Alma Voyage for personal use in 1925; the same bag was put into regular production in the 1930s.

4. AUDREY HEPBURN IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CREATION OF THE SPEEDY BAG AS WE KNOW IT.

In 1965, Audrey asked Vuitton to turn the popular Keepall travel bag into a miniaturized day bag that she could carry regularly. LV obliged, and it was then turned into a regular-production piece that has since become a signature for the brand.

5. THE NOÉ BAG WAS DEVELOPED TO HOLD BOTTLES OF CHAMPAGNE, AND IT STILL CAN.

Many of Louis Vuitton's innovations were made in response to Very Fancy Problems, and the Noé is chief among them. The world's first bucket bag was designed to carry five bottles of Champagne: four with their bases down, and then a fifth inverted in the middle. The biggest Noé in LV's current lineup can still carry that load.

6. BOTH LOUIS VUITTON'S FAMOUS DAMIER AND MONOGRAM PRINTS WERE CREATED TO AVOID COPYCATS.

Vuitton's first trunks were striped, and they were widely copied by less famous Parisian trunk-makers. The check print now known as Damier (which literally translates as "checkerboard") followed in 1888, but competitors latched onto it, too. Vuitton developed its monogram in 1896 in response to those counterfeiters because it was more detailed and, therefore, harder to imitate with the era's available technology. Sadly, the same thing cannot be said about 2016. Ironic, huh?

7. LOUIS VUITTON DIDN'T GET AN ALL-LEATHER BAG LINE UNTIL 1985.

Modern handbag shoppers may think of Louis Vuitton as a brand with one of the largest, most diverse product assortments in the entire luxury market, but the brand's ascendance to that spot happened gradually and over the course of decades. The Epi Leather line, introduced in the mid-80s, was LV's first permanent collection of leather bags.

8. LOUIS VUITTON DIDN'T HAVE A CLOTHING LINE OR CREATIVE DIRECTOR UNTIL 1997.

Modern consumers think of Louis Vuitton as a full-service fashion brands that makes everything from evening wear to keychains, but for over a century of its history, LV was accessories-only. That changed in 1997, when execs at LVMH (the conglomerate that resulted when Louis Vuitton merged with Moët Hennessy in 1987) hired Marc Jacobs to found the brand's ready-to-wear collection and oversee the aesthetic evolution of Louis Vuitton as a fashion brand.

9. LOUIS VUITTON PIONEERED THE ARTIST COLLABORATION, WHICH IS NOW COMMONPLACE ACROSS FASHION.

In 2001, Marc Jacobs brought in world-famous contemporary artist Stephen Sprouse to graffiti-embellish some of the brand's most iconic monogram bags. The results were incredibly popular, which lead LV to collaborate with artists like Takashi Murakami and Yayoi Kusama and inspired competitors to explore the artist-designed capsule collections as well.

10. MUCH OF VUITTON'S EMPIRE IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO A TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCE MADE IN 1959.

THAT YEAR, ACCORDING TO VOGUE UK, MANUFACTURERS CAME UP WITH A BREAKTHROUGH IN THE COATING PROCESS THAT MADE COATED CANVAS THINNER, SOFTER AND MORE PLIABLE. THAT MADE THE MATERIAL MUCH MORE APPROPRIATE FOR USE IN THE MANUFACTURE OF HANDBAGS, WHICH MADE THE LV WE KNOW AND LOVE TODAY POSSIBLE.

It's amazing how quickly Nicolas Ghesquiere has changed the aesthetic at Louis Vuitton. It's one thing to come in to a globally recognized brand after the decade-and-a-half tenure of a legend like Marc Jacobs and put together your own collection with your own quirks; it's quite another to do that in a way that the industry buys into whole-heartedly, as it seems to with Ghesquiere's Vuitton.

Ghesquiere has already established the core of his handbag line, and that's mainly what you'll find in these lookbook images of Louis Vuitton Pre-Fall 2015, alongside a couple of 70s-style refreshes on the iconic Alma. The bags are good in the way that Ghesquiere has been good all along--they're casual and true to the brand, but they feel nothing at all like what came before them during the Jacobs era.

Louis Vuitton has finally launched their own magazine last October. The biannual magazine is entitled “The Book“. The first issue with Charlotte Gainsbourg on the cover which is translated in 11 languages, is not available in newsstands though, as it was only sent to selected customers globally. The magazine has 126 pages of photo shoots, interviews and various articles regarding the French fashion house. It also includes backstage shots of Juergen Teller from the Cruise 2015 show, an interview with French actress Catherine Deneuve, a feature on Nicolas Ghesquière’s debut collection for Louis Vuitton, a history on the iconic Keepall bag and men’s photo shoot in Iceland by Peter Lindbergh.

The magazine was edited by Sylvia Jorif from French Elle and art direction from Yorgo Tloupas.

There’s no doubt about it: Nicolas Ghesquiere knows exactly what he’s up to at Louis Vuitton. The designer sent his second major collection for the brand down his Paris runway yesterday morning, and the results felt like a strong continuation on what he’s built so far. On top of that, a lot of the bags were quite good.

If you didn’t like the Twist Bag that Ghesquiere debuted for Resort 2015, your feelings might be less enthusiastic. Although its raised, tubular LV logo still feels clunky to me, everything else about the bag is pretty good. Perhaps more importantly, it doesn’t feel like something Marc Jacobs would have made, and that’s vital for a brand looking for a new direction and new excitement. A particularly interesting series of Twist bags were made of Louis Vuitton Epi leather with significant color variation, which is a first for one of the brand’s most popular materials.

Another first: A red and black monogram print, as well as soft-sided versions of the Petite-Malle bag that was introduced with Ghesquiere’s first collection. Overall, there was plenty to look forward to.
